Martian base commander Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well ladies and gentlemen,after my unnaceptable period of torpor I can proudly say "I have risen from my undeath",and I hope to chat with some of my old pals again soon (they know who they are hehe) To be honest I havent played the game for a while,but I am determined THIS time to bloody stick at it and finish it!I was also hoping a new patch may have come out since the v1.2 I believe it was,still...the game works fine,no crashes this time (fingers crossed)I cant bloody wait for the next installment either! Look out for some great shots over the next few days chaps (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Welcome back to the board, Riley!I have been keeping the fires burning and wheels turning while you have been gone....Still I haven't completed the game yet....Mainly because I was waiting for new weapons models for Shadowarrior Rebalance weapon mod....And I have been busy with other games too....(Hammer & Sickle among one of them.)It's good that you're back so we can some more screenshots in here....(Besides mine).

Martian base commander Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 By the way,I checked out some of those skin mods for the various armour suits earlier.What can I say?other than that guy has done himself proud! I was particularly impressed by the German Flecktarn camo...marvellous.Lastly,I think a white arctic suit would look great!,its a shame there arent any polar missions in the game (or are there?) I think It would be very reminiscent of the classic film 'The Thing' with Kurt Russel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian base commander Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Good afternoon chaps. Today I will just post 3 rather bland shots of my freshly recruited 2nd Marine squad (1st squad is assigned to incinerating mutants This first shot shows a poor unexpecting grey about to get a shotgun shell to his/her? cranium (or so I thought).https://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ambush3bt.jpgTo my surprise,this little guy was fairly quick on the draw and he got the first shot in His laser burnt right through my heavy gunner,but his poor brains soon hit the wall behind.I love catching lasers in mid flight mind you.https://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=laser15hg.jpgThe team enter the complex,and again,this shot shows a rather spectacular laser hurtling down the corridor,narrowly missing a few heads.https://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=laser27et.jpgPretty crap I know,but more WILL come in a week or so,as my game progresses.THIS time im gonna finish this damn game!.Dont forget to look at the older posts I made from my old game,some of those shots were great ('I' thought so anyhow) Good day gentlemen.

Martian base commander Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Afternoon chaps. My latest game is proceeding at a snails' pace at the moment,however this latest shot which I skillfully managed to capture shows my 1st Marines squad in action.The 2 lasers converging on the target look great I think.Just for the record,this teams' commander is out training so I had to borrow my Heavy Infantrys' commander *useless bit of info,I agree*https://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=duallasers2sq.jpgDue to by Blitzkrieg style approach this time,I control almost all of Europe and N.Africa,and the alien craft isnt even due yet.The Cult have only just appeared and they have a mere 2 provinces right out in the Middle East HAHA!.I certainly think building multiple teams increases your chances of making lots of insertions around the clock,which is why I have so much territory so early on.  *damn I wish I had my old game still*  Farewell for now.

Martian base commander Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well,im going to leave off tonight with a few shots from a couple of missions ive just this minute completed.In fact,I must have completed almost 30 missions today!and the ship is still 11 days away! Anyhow,this first shot shows my Marine Science Division at work converting ever more ETs to the cause,and here is the little chap in action,frying his former comrade https://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=alienally0sq.jpgThis one shows a rather painful looking laser shot right in the face of that poor grey.https://img479.imageshack.us/my.php?image=l...hethroat4px.jpgAnd this one shows yet another searing blast right to the base of his cranium.https://img108.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cranialblast4ad.jpgThe last sequence of shots just shows my 2nd Marine Division mopping up one of their missions for the night.Here I held a great vantage point on that hill top.The greys walked right into my perfect positions.What I would have given for an artillery battery,or even a mortar!.https://img479.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vantagepoint4te.jpgAnd here the team finally secure the building.They are quickly becoming a very efficient team.https://img479.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s...erimeter3wu.jpgMy teams are literally storming through the territories with my seemingly sound tactics this time,and im still fairly technologically inferior compared to the last time I played it.Hope you liked at least one of them  Sleep tight fellow Generals.

Martian base commander Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Morning  I'm just going to post this shot simply because I am now bored (not of the game!).It shows one of my Marine Divisions slowly taking shape *vanity is great*.https://img487.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2ndmarines3ux.jpgBy the way Gringo,I witnessed an incredible air Morelman tonight,we are talking at least 20ft! 2 Psi Blasters hit for approx 1500 and sent the pussbag catapulting backwards through the air!.Sadly I didnt manage to get a shot,it was all too fast LOL.The ship is now 1 day away I smashed the Wargot scum before,and i'll do it again! Night.

Crazy Gringo Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 *SPOILERS ARE INCLUDED* Too bad about not getting that Air Morelman shot. But they are pretty illusive in nature so we'll just have to keep on trying. So here are my latest screenies.It is from your standard search and destroy mutant mission.A welcome sight with the Wardorks looming overhead in their little orbiting peeble.Even if I got the weaponry to turn them into speckles of dust as seen below with my little newfound friends of the Gauss family. https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/54/54/2/34/39/2054234390028687379TqoApa_th.jpg https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/46/47/9/91/81/2622991810028687379UKSugm_th.jpg A flatster momenthttps://thumb19.webshots.com/t/44/44/6/40/88/2059640880028687379gVeoIG_th.jpg https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/61/161/1/41/6/2803141060028687379ZSAHlq_th.jpg Mission donehttps://thumb19.webshots.com/t/61/161/1/41/6/2803141060028687379ZSAHlq_th.jpg And yes there is even a new gausspowered airgun weapon that will make those enemies fall paralysed to the ground or burn up inside due to acid injections. I might go and kick some cultist rear tonight to get that Wargot thingie you need.... Screenies are sure to be made and posted if they are good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Gringo,I am guessing here,but the Gauss weapons you have ARE mods right? If my memory serves me correctly,werent Gauss weapons also featured in X-COM Terror From The Deep?.I loved that bloody game.Regarding mods,I downloaded some armour mods before as I am desperate to incorporate some of em into my game,but I get a file invalid/corrupt each time I try to open the file (do I need Winzip by chance?).Lastly,IF I manage to get the file sorted out,where do you insert the actual mod into the game data?.As you may have already guessed I have not tinkered with mods before,I think due to fear of screwing the main data files up  Cheers pal.

Crazy Gringo Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yes, Riley. The Gauss weapons are part of the Rebalance mod from Shadowarrior to balance out the improved Wargots so they actually can hit something now.About the corrupted zip...Try to download it again otherwise throw it in the bin....The mods are placed in UFO AS root folder as in C:\Program files\Cenega\UFO AftershockIf you use Shadowarriors mod it will change your savegames and make them noncompatible if you uninstall it again. And you need to make backup of your localization file in the localization folder too since the mod changes that too (a new one is used with each release from it).You might consider a more enemies mod if you feel like your game is a bit to easy....I have posted lots of screenshots from such missions in previous posts....

Martian base commander Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Evening. Just thought I would post a few snacks for you to munch on.This first shot shows a rather HOT looking scene to say the least.The colours look bloody great in this I think.Looks more like a scene from a nuclear war!This has to be my finest shot yet.The rest of the squad were in the alien craft,while I left these 2 to guard the perimeter https://img50.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firestorm9kd.jpgOne for Gringo here,notice the air Cultist?he flew into that wall with some force!.Not the highest airshot I agree,but nonetheless,he IS airborne https://img50.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aircultist7cs.jpgFinally,my mission in the Wargot ship went with relative ease,as you can see by the corpse pile neatly stacked up My Heavy Infantry suffered only one casualty on this mission,due to the fact that he was deployed in a room on his own surrounded by 3 Wargots https://img468.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wargotship5he.jpgKeep posted for more in the week. Cheers.

Crazy Gringo Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 *SPOILERS ARE INCLUDED (mind the caps)*Good shots there, Riley!Especially that Air Cultist shot. It got me playing Aftershock again.I am the point where I have located the Cultist transmitter and was enroute with the Laputa, when I came under assault by the Wargots. During the mission I encountered an old friend Air Wargot!https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/60/160/8/37/89/2221837890028687379MgRKEC_th.jpg And from another anglehttps://thumb19.webshots.com/t/62/162/6/9/3/2614609030028687379wzqHYf_th.jpg Until next time.

By the way,the game crashes are STILL there,even with the 1.2 patch.My game has crashed only once tonight,but it was in a very critical mission,good job I bleedin saved it eh? See yer soon.

One pic I took was from a spectacular mission featuring my Mechanized (Cyborg) Division.They got screwed early on,but they got their bloody revenge in the end and smashed the dumb Wargots asunder!Gringo,I am determined to get an air Powersuit someday,have YOU had one yet?

Martian base commander Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Well here we go,as promised.Before I post these I shall take the opportunity to say you may like some and you may not,you can't please everyone.You can be certain though that you will find one or two pretty dynamic Right,the first few show my Marine Science Division encountering a new breed of Reticulan,which demanded urgent attention.Here the containment unit attempt to capture one of these newly arrived beings.https://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=16gd2.jpgIt was a pretty hard struggle,but in the end we got the target under our control.Here an ambush team pulverize one of the new beings.https://img125.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20ww.jpgThe team finally met their objective,and pose proudly with their latest find.The SuperGreys which I am to call them from now on certainly can withstand a fair bit of damage,and are pretty agile.The team look forward to capturing one of these beings again in the future,and using it to its fullest potential in support of the team.https://img109.imageshack.us/my.php?image=32pm.jpgHere we shift onto my 2nd Marine Division,who were out on a standard bug hunt.This shot shows my sniper testing out the newly developed laser sniper rifle on a SuperGrey.It proved quite ineffective on the Grey's apparent good protection against energy.Nonetheless,the weapon DID prove substantially more powerful on the lesser Greys.The Laser beam caught here merely caused damage comparable to that of a cigarette burn on the SuperGrey https://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=47sg.jpgThe SuperGrey decided to show my sniper what she was dealing with and proceeded to fry her with excellent return fire from its own Laser rifle!She has quickly learned to show these new beings respect for the future,and to be more cautious in how she engages them!https://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=57gq.jpgThe sniper stood no chance in a close range engagement,and so pulled back to the main assault force nearby,and took up a good position to the rear,ready for the SG to appear again in pursuit of her.https://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=66ih.jpgThe team did in fact bag the SG and took up a new position and secured a nearby building.The sniper takes up a more safer position,as you can see.The mission eventually came to an obvious end some time later.https://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=79aj.jpgHere we have possibly my most exciting shots of the evening,featuring the highly anticipated (on my part) 1st Mechanized Division,which is desperately awaiting manufacture of 2 Drones for front line armour cover in the future.They had to bolster their ranks with 2 Assault Troopers from 2nd Mech Div.They plan to use heavy MGs with AP rounds in the future,with an added Anti-Armour element to engage the PowerSuits.Here the boys prepare for war,and establish a strong front line.The squads' Repair Unit quickly gets to work and injects the front-line troopers with Adrenalin to increase their performance. https://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=84rd.jpgThe ground shudders as the first target appears in the form of the dreaded WARGOT POWER ARMOUR (WPA) https://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=95lh1.jpgThe Battle commences with a vicious attack from my men as they all open fire and pound the WPA! (shame I only had soft tipped rounds on this mission) https://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=103wo1.jpgGrenade support quickly arrives,and and a fire storm erupts around the WPA.https://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?image=113dd.jpgThe WPA starts to pull back.Meanwhile a hidden target appears close by and fires an explosive mine into my tightly packed unit causing some pretty heavy damage!The concealed attack causes mass confusion among the men and they stand around dazed and badly bruised.Can they rally themselves in time and repulse the attackers,or will they all perish before a single enemy is even killed?. https://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=120jb.jpgThe WPA rallies and launches a massive counterattack against my men,knocking them all to the ground again engulfing them in a cruel blaze of white-hot heat https://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=137in.jpgWith superhuman effort the Cyborgs manage to get to their feet again,organize themselves and hold their ground,earning themselves much distinction and honour.The WPA and remaining Wargot soldiers decide to retreat giving my men precious time to take up a more favourable position,which they held for a long time.They salvage a LAW en route while scanning the near horizon for enemy movement.https://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=140xv.jpgThe annoying WPA decides to make another bold appearance,but my men have had enough of it now and they decide to finish this tincan off for good! The LAW operator eagerly fires his munition into the WPA,which sadly misses.Again the WPA retreats into the distance,seemingly with nowhere to hide.https://img50.imageshack.us/my.php?image=157ac.jpgHere my men set up their final defensive line,and wait for the WPA to return.https://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=160nq1.jpgFrustrated by the cowardly WPA the Anti Armour trooper decides to make a daring WWII style (German PanzerFaust units engaged Soviet T-34 tanks this way) dash and engage the WPA on his own.He finally caught up with the sulking WPA and fired his shell home,destroying it.https://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=178aj.jpgSadly a shot was not taken to show this,the men were too exhausted to take any more shots at this point Badly bruised and burnt the Cyborgs survived,and they were happy with their tactics,proving that an organized unit with adequate support can overcome ANY enemy,regardless of enemy advantages It also has to be said that the repair unit performed admirably and saved the team from near death more than once.The entire team was awarded the Knights' Cross for outstanding courage Hope you liked this epic as much as I did!.Better shots are bound to come in the near future as my game is becoming VERY interesting now. *nips out to the pub to celebrate this latest victory* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Evening again chaps  Right before we begin with tonights sumptuous feast,I feel I must apologize to those that may find my screenshot posts too labourious to plough through,or maybe you find them pointless.Either way,it keeps me happy,and I feel I am contributing to a very enjoyable and addictive game.Lets get on with the show shall we?I wanted to post these sequence of shots mainly to test the newly captured Reticulan Plasma Cannons,and maybe get some insight on some of YOUR thoughts about the weapon. The first shot shows my 1st Marine Division setting up their usual battle formation,as they await the first wave of Mutants...hehe,I pity them.https://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=16wo1.jpgIts not long before contact is made as a lone Brainman shuffles around in the distance.The 2 Marines charge up their new weapons and get a fix on the target.The Sniper as usual is providing long range support.https://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27ur1.jpgThe Marine squints from the intense glow that is emitted from the cannon as it is fired,and he watches in anticipation as the super-heated plasma is propelled towards the target. https://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=32sn1.jpgNo sooner is the weapon fired the Brainman slithers behind the building,easily evading the slow projectile.The Marines are now left almost prone as a nearby Flatster bears down on them! https://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=42vv.jpgThe Marines panic at the current situation and release rapid globs of Plasma on the Flatster.To the Marines' horror they watch as the Plasma splashes all over their Heavy Gunner,and so decide to immediately cease fire!The Flatster lies dead amidst the scorch marks left in the ground from the Plasma.Meanwhile,a second wave of aliens march on the squads' position,and for the first time in the squads' career they face a very real threat.The Commander quickly assesses the situation and fires his laser rifle at the Morelman.https://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=59uq.jpgThe Mutants slowly advance ever closer to the squad.The squad decide to lay a blanket of fire towards the Mutants,and so the flame unit rushes to the front line and lobs a Phosphorous grenade at the filthy horde The fire does its job.The Mutants blindly stumble into a fiery inferno.The stench of burning flesh is almost unbearable at this range.https://img193.imageshack.us/my.php?image=65ce.jpgThe squad easily deal with the Mutants,then rush towards the bunker and take up their usual assault formation.https://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=71kq.jpgInside the bunker the squad rapidly set up a basic defensive position,and cover each cardinal point.The Medic will remain in the entrance and await any possible casualties.The first threat is from a Flatster,which foolishly attempts to attack the squad.https://img455.imageshack.us/my.php?image=89rk.jpgThe nearest troopers pull out their Shotguns and pump their shells into the soft bodied creature.The Flatster soon lies dead in a huge pool of liquid https://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=90jt.jpgSoon after,a Morelman appears,and attempts to attack the opposite flank.As before the nearest troops deal with the threat.https://img450.imageshack.us/my.php?image=107ny.jpgThis time the globs from the Plasma Cannon seem to do their job,with devastating results,inflicting massive damage on the Morelmans' body!If you look closely you can still see the faint globs of green Plasma left by the projectile,as they splash all over the target.The Morelman lies dead in a foul pool of Plasma and puss.https://img310.imageshack.us/my.php?image=114ua.jpgThe security team secure the main defensive position as the assault team moves out in search of the remaining Mutants.https://img124.imageshack.us/my.php?image=120er.jpgContact is soon made in a deserted room.The Marine storms the room pumping his Shotgun shells into the first Brainman,leaving huge craters in its torso and head.The Marine wretches in disgust as he is splattered with mucus and cerebral fluid https://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=132ra.jpgHe is quickly supported by his comrade,and they both pump the remaining Brainmen full of lead.https://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=141pc.jpgAs they both reload they silently contemplate on this unnerving experience with the Plasma Cannon,and wonder if they should ever use one again.https://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=150nd.jpgMission acomplished  SUMMARY: Well,it can be safely assumed that the Plasma Cannon should NOT be used like a rifle,as was initially thought,as it is far too slow and not nearly half as accurate.The weapon becomes even more volatile at close range as the splash damage causes huge damage to any nearby troops.However,I DID notice that the weapon behaves much like a sort of hand held mortar,and I think that is how the weapon was originally designed,to target slow moving enemies that may be in a bunch.The ideal candidates for this weapon therefore would be against the Wargots,especially the Power Armour This weapon has now officially been signed over to the Mechanized Divisions.Feel free to share some of your thoughts on this very powerful weapon.

Martian base commander Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'll just post a few more to add to our bulging family album  This first one is primarily for Gringo.Well CG,my first TRUE air Wargot has been captured for all posterity.This image shows the huge trajectory the target was to follow,and after the initial vertical take-off the WG was sent hurtling over the cliff side never to be seen again! Gringo,I am eager for your analysis on this serious threat to your throne.I would have to say we are on equal terms now? https://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=12mf3.jpgThe following shots show yet another Mechanized Infantry mission.Here the repair unit performs his duty by quickly administering all the necessary enhancements for the coming battle.They had better be extra careful in this poor light they have been forced to fight in.https://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=28jz.jpgThe squad get into their battle formation,and are poised and ready for action.The Commander decides it best that HE be the one to execute a quick patrol of the immediate perimeter.https://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=33fo1.jpgAudible contact is soon made somewhere on the far cliffside,the front line troops clench their teeth in anticipation,tightening their grips on their weapons.https://img154.imageshack.us/my.php?image=49dx.jpgThe squad manage to pierce the darkness with their acute vision and percieve the threat as a WPA.The gunners instantly begin a fierce assault on the target.Meanwhile,the Commander is caught in a nasty crossfire between the WPA and a nearby WS and tries desperatley to pull back to the squad.Sadly he is doomed as he has already suffered critical damage and his life support systems are quickly failing.Sparks can be seen flickering under his armoured plating as his circuitry begins to overload. https://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=51ay.jpgHe is knocked unconscious by the cowardly ambush and the WGs persist in their relentless execution.https://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=69tt.jpgThe Cyborgs bellow in fury at the sight of this and increase their firepower upon the enemy,this time releasing rapid salvoes of rockets into the b######s! https://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=75fe.jpgThe rockets keep on coming and the WPA collapses to the floor amidst terrific explosions.The night sky is lit up like a fireworks display.https://img62.imageshack.us/my.php?image=86mi.jpgThe rocket operator doesnt stop,his rage is all consuming,he furiously reloads his weapon and sends volley after volley into the WPA.This image shows just what its like to be hit in the face by rockets! https://img62.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98so.jpgThe squad lie silent for a moment in honour of the fallen then storm the bunker entrance ahead,where they quickly get into an assault formation.https://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=108yz.jpgInside the bunker adrenalin and rage fuel the Cyborgs and they rip into anything that moves,even putting themselves at risk!This Cultist feels the full force of their firepower and is sent crashing head first into the concrete wall.His crumpled body ceases to move again.https://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=110pb1.jpgThey make a rapid insertion down the corridor and secure both ends.No sooner have they done this when an unsuspecting Psionic walks into their view and is met by a blaze of deafening noise and pain.In her death throes the Cyborgs briefly catch sight of her saluting towards the sky,and from a blood filled throat she manages to utter the words "hail the...",then she falls silent. https://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=123mk.jpgThe squad thrust deeper into the complex where they encounter another WPA and a few of its protectors.Flipping the trigger on their guns to full-auto the Cyborgs storm into the chamber and mercilessly destroy the enemy!https://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=134gm.jpgHere the team finally relax and allow time for a quick victory shot.They have suffered only minor wounds on this mission and will be ready for action in a day or so.They certainly are beginning to look more intimidating now.They feel the tide is beginning to turn against the Wargots.https://img386.imageshack.us/my.php?image=146wi1.jpg SUMMARY: Speed,aggression,firepower...is the key to total victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Nice Air Wargot there, Riley!If you had an screenshot from another angle it would make it easier to judge the height on it. Just to rub it in I'll repost those pictures of legend again....  https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/63/63/0/68/63/514806863qeIcuj_th.jpg https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/62/162/0/67/3/514806703plCiAx_th.jpg https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/62/162/0/67/3/514806703plCiAx_th.jpg https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/62/162/0/67/3/514806703plCiAx_th.jpg Since the height on your Wargot got it a bit difficult to tell plus the downward sloping of the terrain....The record still stands....

Martian base commander Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Greetings once again!. You guessed it,more screenshots Last night was a fairly interesting night,as my Commandos were sent into action after what seemed like days of inaction.They were ordered to infiltrate their first human province and capture an important individual (so they say),as the humans had stubbornly been refusing our help for days! These next shots will show you what happens to folk that cling onto,their independance?,hah!,they would have NO independance if the ET invaders decided to march on their province! Enough talk,lets get on with the mission.Before I do,yes I LOVE our British SAS and so I thought it only proper to try and emulate them somewhere within my game The team intently gaze over the battle plans in the landing pod and shake hands,before storming out at a blazing pace towards their first objective,and that is to secure a forward position.https://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13os.jpgThe Sniper ( he will be using the massive Barrett sniper rifle in the future,so he had to settle with the laser sniper rifle for now) quickly took up a good position,and had an excellent view of the area.https://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=22lg.jpgThe main assault team reach their objective and get into a defensive formation (notice the silenced weapons some of the men carry?,at night these will be exchanged for muzzle flash suppressors,and the grenadier will use flashbangs for indoor assaults).https://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=36fz.jpgAs the team move swiftly forward so does the Sniper,and he constantly maintains a forward position on the rest of the squad to give them vital support at long range,after all,the men are only lightly armoured to aid in rapid movement,and a heavily armoured defender would pulverize an SAS man if he got the shots in first.https://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=47wb3.jpgThe squad keep on pressing forward,and reach an excellent position,with a good field of fire.https://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=54yi.jpgAgain,the Sniper keeps up with the squad and gets into position.The squad now have a good view of the target building.https://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=64tg1.jpgEncountering no resistance at this point the team decide to make their assault on the building,as that is where the enemy forces are are to be expected https://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=75dg1.jpgThe assault team charge forward and get into assault positions,they listen intently for any sounds inside...all is quiet,surprise has been maintained.https://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=83lw.jpgOn a count of three the assault team burst through the doorway and storm up the near staircase keeping their weapons close up in front of them,its imperative they get the first shots in! Nearing the top they immediately hear sounds within a room,they keep on moving so as to maintain momentum.https://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=97ld.jpgThe first defender walks out wondering what all the noise is and is completely bewildered by the menacing looking intruders.Ignoring formalities Charlie pumps his MP5 into the face of the defender and kills her instantly.Alpha and Delta cover the stairs.https://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=108uc.jpgAnother target is aqquired coming up the stairs and the troopers immediately converge their fire on him,taking care not to kill him as HE is the objective!! The target is riddled with AP bullets and is sent flying backwards down the stairs.https://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=118qn.jpgMoaning in pain he manages to drag himself to his feet and decides to make a run for it and limps through the door,but the commandos easily flank him and block his escape.He is hit a few more times and eventually falls to the ground unconscious.The target has suffered some pretty nasty wounds,but they will heal in time.This is the price you pay for being stubborn.Meanwhile two more defenders rush out to try and protect their leader,but they are swiftly dealt with.https://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=129yq.jpgThe squad mop up on the last remaining defenders,meanwhile the twisted body of the objective lays bleeding in the doorway,he must be patched up right away!.https://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=135mz.jpgStabilizing the target the team secure the perimeter and prepare for the extraction.Charlie treats some of his own wounds sustained in the firefight.Overall,the mission was a resounding success! https://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=148ns.jpgThis last image shows you the current situation in my game.I control almost the whole of Europe and have made my presence felt in N.Africa and the USA.The Cultist territory has been restricted to operating in the Middle East and the extreme southern tip of Africa.This is to be expected as I continue to grow stronger,then eventually I will make a full scale invasion into their territory.The Cult DID in fact capture a province in Russia recently,but this will be dealt with in a couple of days My next plan will be to invade the whole African continent and secure their precious resources,where I hope to expand some of my manufacturing facilities.https://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=159ec.jpgSUMMARY: speed,surprise,aggression,the SAS way!WHO DARES WINS!

Crazy Gringo Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Very interesting tactical mission there, Riley!Are the flash grenades worth anyhting?What level are your squaddies at currently?Well, you asked for some screenshots....So here they are....The first one is from an wargot encounter where the Wargots got pwned by my amount of fire power.https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/44/45/2/4/88/2203204880028687379GCUpwY_th.jpg The next one is the intro to my latest mission where a cultist who had been taking to many shrooms had lots of things to say before being interrupted by a Wargot leader.https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/38/38/3/20/43/2261320430028687379LwUcKb_th.jpg My first sightning of the cultists.https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/38/38/5/53/43/2075553430028687379NUIIbE_th.jpg I actually got 2 kills in one salvo from the Gauss Autocannon. https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/61/61/2/89/90/2447289900028687379EGUnEj_th.jpgAnd the few moments later I made life miserable to a cultist sniper carrying a Barrett (He had to lie prone so I launched a rocket up his cultist rear. Very painful so I finished him off with a Gauss salvo to his head). A few moments later the game was up as a WPA and company stormed my teams position.https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/61/61/2/89/90/2447289900028687379EGUnEj_th.jpgThose WPA's can become a bit too dangerous unless you distract them as I did with my drone while hammering away at with rockets, laser fire and gauss salvos. The enemies around it just got 'caught' in fire. A few moments later it was all over as the WPA was reduced to a smoldering heap of scrap with it's dead allies lying around it.https://thumb19.webshots.com/t/64/164/9/81/59/2800981590028687379TbhVIG_th.jpg I encountered a freakish event in this mission when I took out a cultist with a rocket. It kinda 'teleported' the cultist outside the map where I could see it lying unconsious to my greatest satisfaction. Otherwise it could be biggest Air Cultist I ever had seen. No screenshots, though! Now I might get some peace and quiet to get that Wargot thingie at the cultists....If am not play Heroes of Might and Magic V.
